Stone Imperial Russian Stout

Black with a thin tan head. Aroma is roast,malt,coffee and oak. Flavor was rich and complex with large suggestions of coffee and chocolate.

Bomber. Jet black, no light gets through at all. Small dark tan head that can make to look soapy if you pour fast enough. Surprisingly light aroma...maybe because I was outside near some cooking food?...but what I did smell was good. Much the same as the flavors that followed....burn, coffee, dark chocolate, and lots of it. It finishes as quietly as it started, nice and clean. This is a really well-made beer to be as inviting and easy drinking as it is with as much body and flavor as it offers. I need to buy this again when it comes out next year.

Thick, black pour. Aroma is heavy, consisting of roasted malt, coffee, and a touch of oak. Excellent flavor with a bitter finish. A very good Imperial Sout.

Black pour. Didn’t stain the glass like i like my Imp Stouts to do. Nose is roasted malt, coffe, cocoa, dark fruits. Flavor is much of the same with some bitterness. Not bad.

Black, oily pour with a thin but lasting tan head. Heavy, malty and molasses aroma. Bitter black coffee flavor along with dark fruits and definitely some alcohol warmth. The body is smooth and thick. Great imperial stout.

22 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee, and earth. Taste is roasted with a coffee bitter. Not my favorite Russian Imperial Stout, but close.

2008 on nitro @ rattle n hum. Pours thick and black. Strong flavor of roasted malts, burnt charcoal, and smoke. Mouthfeel is aggressive but smooth. Not the best, but very good.

Pours black with a thick oily looking brown head. Aroma is roast choc., oak, vanilla, dark fruit, and nut. Taste is bitter with roast, but is also sweet and creamy with a milk chocolate malt presence. Excellent.
